Fleet 101 Management Facility
Chicago Department of Environment, Client
If the City of Chicago is a leader nationally in green building, why not have the greenest fleet management facility in the nation? Fleet 101 will be that place. And with its location in the Calumet region, environmental responsibility at the site is that much more significant.
In a design consultation, WRD developed a site plan for Fleet 101 that incorporates an array of best environmental practices. Among them are native and salt-tolerant plantings, and stormwater management tools that include porous pavement, rain gardens and bioswales. Islands in the parking lots will make way for trees and help offset the urban heat island effect.
